Hey guys! This is my entry for the Newgrounds Audio Underdogs Contest, more specifically, the knock-out round of the contest.
This one's an electro track with some quirks and bobs in it. Quite solid; it was fun to make. =)

I found this song yesterday(little late, I know) and I am listening to it all the time...... Nice work man and thanks for adding what you used to make it, it kinda helps me(I don't really know how or why..)!!
Thanks!
This is actually the first time I find one of your songs before I do on YouTube :0.
I like the fact that you make nice and brand new ostinatos out of pretty much 3 or 4 synths, pretty much the same with the two drops in every song. Same structures, but different grooves.
Also, when the drums kicked it sounded quite amazing, different than your previous tracks.
Plus, those chipmunk-like vocal bits in the drop were a cool addition.
Now, my complain is that before and after the drop, the ostinato is kinda repetitive. I think a good way to fix that is to make longer ostinatos, or change the note sequence on every one or two beats.
Keep it up!
Thanks for reviewing! :)
Dude, wow! I didn't expect much clicking the link, but boy did you surprise me!
Right off the bat, the super intense mixing skill caught my attention! It kinda reminded me of Aeron's work when I heard it, and isn't it just perfect that I scroll down here to leave a review and his name is right there, two spots down? That's fantastic - good work!
And like Aeron said, the melody is SUPER CATCHY! Most melodies I've been hearing from similar sounds in this competition are okay, but a bit lazy sounding - the melodies here, though, are fantastic in design and really catch the ear! They're on the level of the likes of Voluto by Aeron and Velcro by LunacyEcho, so really nice job!
Your sound design definitely does a good job bringing out the quirk in this piece! I guess that quirk is what truly makes this piece unique from others I've heard. And the more serious, fierce tone in the electro drops is nice as well, although I would have hoped for a bit more contrast.
In all, maybe the track as whole could use more of that contrast. Overall, the sound is pretty much the same throughout the 7/2+ minutes - maybe more variation would keep the monotony at a minimum.
In the little breaks right before the drop (like at 1:02), I'm hearing some stock samples. This is confirmed by what I see in the description, but maybe you could have gotten more creative with the sound. At the moment, it just sounds amateurish compared to what's around it.
Overall, I love this track! More variation and creativity could do this potentious sound a long way, but as it stands, it sounds amazing - definitely a solid contender! 9/10, 5/5, good luck :)
Hi! Didn't expect you to review on this track, but I'm glad that you did. XD
Thanks for the positive notes.
As a plus, the constructive criticism's really gonna help in the future. =)
Thanks for reviewing! =D
I was entered in but didn't make it in to the knock out round for the "Professional Amateurs" list. I am rooting for you because this is pretty amazing!
Well, thanks! =)
